Movie Info :
Rana (Nana Patekar) is a maverick award-winning Indian film director, working on his new film titled 'Cinema'. While shooting for the movie halfway through, the film's heroinerefuses to do a scene of running on the beach shores as instructed by him, fearing that her newly-made pedicureswould fade away. Frustrated by her attitude, the no-nonsense Rana sacks her from the film, and decides that the film will not commence till he finds a new-face actress to introduce. Rana soon finds a new musein an actress named Trishna (Rukmini Vijayakumar), but keeps her face and appearance a secret from the public and the press alike. The press is intrigued as to who the actress actually is, as they await an official revealing of the actress at a planned press conference on the eve of the movie's release. However, at a Hotel room, women underwearsare shown scattered on the floor as Rana comforts Trishna and tells her that what happened in that room will stay in the room. His producer calls him to know his whereabouts, but accidentally converses with Rana near the slew of microphonesarranged for the press meet. The press people immediately rush to the hotel to barge into Rana, but Rana senses their arrival and flees in his car with Trishna seated beside. After a gruelling chase, the press van finally loses track Rana's car and Rana is shown driving straight towards a cliff. He stops his car, looks below, and immediately pushes the car into the cliff and detonates it to explode into pieces. He then applies fake red inkto make himself look bloody, as the press van, which arrives after a while, find him unconscious. An investigationis immediately opened up into the allegeddeath of Trishna, who was in the car. CBIsuspects Rana of committing planned murder. Here enters Vivek Varma (Arjun), CBI officer who intent in nailing Rana with murder. Vivek does have his own agendas though, as his girlfriend (Kajal Aggarwal), an ardent fan of Rana himself, has went on to join Rana as an assistant, and has gradually grown more attached to Rana than she is to Vivek himself, causing their relationship to strain. Vivek probes continuously to try to convict Rana with murder, as he reveals that two more murders took place within his film setsduring the shooting of 'Cinema', and believes now that Rana is responsible for all three murders. Finally, during interrogation, Rana reveals of how he found Trishna and their relationship. She was a dancer, who used to dance in templesand small-time shows across Andhra Pradesh. He hires her as his new muse, and in the shooting spot, they are shown to share a very intimate relationship, fuelling existing rumorsthat he is a womanizer. One particular night, the unit's hairdresseris left without a place to sleep, and Rana offers her a place in his room, and witnessing this, another unit member informs Rana's wife (Ranjitha). The next morning, as Rana is once again shown to share a very close rapport with Trishna, his wife arrives, beats up the hairdresser, and throws a tantrum, accusing him as a womanizer. He however continues shooting, appearing to be unperturbed by the incident but apparently cries lightly while instructing his actors, something which his assistant notices. He and his assistant are also shown to share a special and close relationship, as she comforts him later on. However, at the same village in which they are shooting, they face troubles in the form of the village chief (Manivannan), who is notorious and constantly lusting over Trishna. He states in rageat one point that he would kill the chief should he cause more inconvenience. The next day, the chief is murdered at a nearby quarry. Vivek recalls this and states that Rana committed this murder because he can't stand the chief's behavior towards Trishna, but Rana neither agrees or denies this statement. Rana is later admitted to the hospital as he faints shortly after that interrogation, but Vivek pursues him even in the hospital, and recollects the incident of the second murder. After finishing their schedule at the village, the unit head to Malaysiato continue their shooting for 'Cinema'. There, Rana has to meet another nuisance in terms of the financier's son, who is also the film's second hero. He flirts around with Trishna and tries to constantly approach her, of which she is obviously uncomfortable with, and shortly afterwards, he is found murdered as well. Once again, Rana neither denies or agrees as Vivek accuses him of murder. Rana's assistant upon witnessing what Vivek is doing confronts him and accuses him of trying to pin down Rana in jealousy. She offers her body in exchange of Rana being left alone, but Vivek reveals to her the complication that exist in the investigation. The badly burnt body in the car which fell from the cliff belongs to a man and not a woman, and all the evidence that exists at the crime sceneare all fake, which are used for cinema. With the mystery lingering, Rana is released due to the absence of strong evidence to convict him. He goes off to live in a secluded bungalow with his assistant, who describes theirs as a 'special' relationship. Vivek arrives there too and finally uncovers the mystery. Trishna is revealed as a boy, and not a girl. Babu, being his real name, comes from a very poor background and his mother raised him as a woman since childhood thus his demeanors have become womanly since small. Rana, in him, sees an opportunity to take up a unique challenge by introducing him as a heroine and at the same time provide financial aid to his struggling family. Babu killed the village chief after the chief discovers Babu's gender identity and demands that Babu, despite being a boy, still sleep with him in return of the truth not being revealed in public. And when the financier's son tells him that he has taken his picture while he is bathing (which he actually didn't), Babu became insecure once again and kills him too. Rana asks Vivek to give the boy the least available sentence, but Vivek, overwhelmed by the truth, decides to let the boy go. Rana thanks Vivek, but Vivek in return says Rana is a greater human being than he is a director. The film ends with Babu, in jubilation, dancing gracefully like a woman on the road as Vivek, Rana and Rana's assistant watch on.
